Meanwhile, Green was showing a different kind of fight with his defense, with some … low expectations for Rondo’s outside shooting, to say the least. Rondo fought back with a less than sanitary response.

“He’s seen me a million times,” Green told reporters. “If you feel that strongly about it, then punch me in the face when you see me. If you’re not going to punch me in the face when you see me, then shut up. It’s no different than somebody sitting behind a computer screen tweeting, ‘I’ll knock you out,’ and you never see them in life. Well, he’s seen me a bunch of times, and he’ll see me again this year. Punch me in the face when you see me or not. No one cares what you would have done. You old, and it is what it is. So, if you ain’t going to punch me when you see me, then stop talking about it. Period.”

Fun times in the NBA.
